Here’s a story from what must be September or so. When does the football season begin?
It was opening night of the 2010 NFL season. The Vikings vs. The Saints. There is a lot of history behind why this game was going to be huge.
This video shows what was basically the end to the Vikings 2009 season. It was horrible. They coulda been, woulda been Superbowl champs.
So, the Vikings were meeting up with the Saints again, on a Monday night, no less. We were on the couch, game was on, window was open letting in the beautiful late summer air.

Of course, the note above is not the note I wrote that night.
However, I remember that night for another reason. I was right in the middle of a great search. And this note was one of the last I wrote living in my apartment.
